Overview & Reviews
Suzuki expands the model line to include a front-wheel-drive sedan dubbed the SX4 Sport on the basis of its aero body kit and more firmly tuned suspension. Otherwise, the 2008 Suzuki SX4 sedan is equipped similarly to the all-wheel-drive SX4 hatchback introduced last year. The latter carries over unaltered, save for a taller 5th-gear ratio on its manual transmission and assorted packaging changes.

Suzuki SX4 ZXi - 2008 Suzuki SX4
By G V Chanukya - August 10 - 11:46 pmSuzuki SX4 ZXi car though boasts of high end features its crap when it comes to quality. I have brought new SX4 on 4-4-2008. The reverse shifting gear was hard to function from outset. When I asked about it, Suzuki people told its designed like that only. When it ran 4900 km,just before second free service, the shifting gear (reverse) got jammed. To add further woes, water started pouring into front cabin from the bottom..

This is a great little car. - 2008 Suzuki SX4
By sr500mark - July 5 - 9:04 amI bought this for its mileage and 4 wheel drive ability. Fell in love with all of it. After 2 years of ownership I gave it to my son. He puts a lot of miles on it and has to deal with heavy snow. He loves it. Get one before they are all gone. Id get the manual tranny.

The little car that could. - 2008 Suzuki SX4
By SX4 Soprt - June 28 - 8:50 pmI purchased the SX4 in December of 07. Being my first new car it has been the best compared to my 91 Lincoln Mark 7 and my 95 Mazda 626. It feels like youre doing laps around a go-cart track. Its always eager to downshift wich makes it hit that right note at all times. My mom even wanted to borrow it and she has a 07 BMW 3 series. She loved it until she crashed it. Wasnt anything major but the front bumper, radiator, grill and headlight needed replcing and she still rides the same if not better then the day I got her. Its funny how the first accident my moms ever gotten in. It had to be my brand new SX4 but you wouldnt even notice the dealership did an excelent job, another great thing about SX4

Regrettable purchase - 2008 Suzuki SX4
By tlong - June 3 - 11:00 amThis is the very first brand new vehilce purchase I have ever made. I am quite disappointed. The exterior paint is "cheap & sensitive" (scratches down to the metal extremely easily, I have had to pay for protectant because of bird droppings marking it). The interior "plastic" (dash, doors)scratch extremely easily, and the upholstery snags like mad as well. The little windows on the front sides create blind spots. The window sticker when I bought it said avg mpg 30 highway and I have not ever gotten above 25-26mpg. Small gas tank. Cruise control is not standard neither are arm rests. Not terribly comfortable. Hard to handle in strong winds. Back seat not much leg room. Not "family" car

Three years strong... - 2008 Suzuki SX4
By princesskiara - April 14 - 5:10 pmBought it used, and Ive had my SX4 for just shy of 3 years, and have had no mechanical issues. It will reach 80k miles this month, and the only things Ive done are replaced the tires and front brake pads, plus the regular 30k services and oil changes. Love the keyless ignition and entry, love the fuel range module (I get an average of 27mpg, up to 40 on road trips), love how I sit in it and that the windshield doesnt feel like its too close to my forehead. :) The only issue I have is the suspension--feels like it needs stabilization when I hit bumps on corners. It rides nice, however, and feels very safe in all other conditions. Never had any problems on snow or ice. :)

Great car - 2008 Suzuki SX4
By SX4 kicks butt !!! - April 9 - 12:50 pmHonestly, I had never owned a Suzuki and was kind of reluctant to purchase one simply because I was not familiar with these vehicles Oh boy, Have I been pleasantly surpised! This car keeps getting great reviews from friends, not to mention the great perks it came with, and the much needed, built-in bluetooth system. On a normal work week, I used to fork out about 60 bucks for gasoline (California), Now after the first week of owning and driving the car guess what? So far, I have only put 35 bucks of gas and still has little less than half a tank left. Cannot beat this deal!

an all wheel drive "car" finally - 2008 Suzuki SX4
By vrswashingtondc - April 7 - 4:56 amIts no wonder that this vehicle is the number one selling suv in Europe. If you think gas is expensive here... wow. Tight handling, sits like its a foot higher of the ground. Good acceleration,

From Forenza to SX4 - 2008 Suzuki SX4
By Mark - January 12 - 8:16 pmI just traded in an 06 Forenza for the SX4. All I can say is wow what a diffrence. I love this vehicle. the way it handles and drives is no comparison to the Forenza. I have the top of the line Touring Edition its well worth the extra money for the options you get. The keyless entry and start are really good. I would reccomend this car to anyone looking for a great car for good value.

First 20,000 miles - 2008 Suzuki SX4
By OnTheRoad - December 31 - 8:00 amRuns ok in slow driving areas. Not good in California, 4 speed transmission needs all it has for Highway Driving. Windshield broke by itself at 13,000 miles, nothing hit it, The Dealer said it is not covered by the Warranty. It fishtails if you need to swerve because runs in front of car, at 40 mph. Gas for me is 29 MPG. The GPS stopped working and needed to be replaced at 10,000 miles. The fender needed to be fixed because it was coming apart at 2000 miles. This car is problematic. Next time Im going to a Honda or older Oldsmobile or Buick or VW.
